Yesterday, all seniors took their academic excursion to Windsor. At first, we visited Windsor Castle, which was really impressive because of its size. I especially liked the state apartments and Queen Mary's doll house because one could really see the splendor of the castle. The doll house could almost have been a house on its own..... The same with the state apartments: there are more rooms than anyone would need in his whole life!!!! Everything, the china, the armours and the furniture is very splendid and impressive. Also the "rest" of the castle is just gigantic and still has the impression of a very strong fortress. Fortunately, we could also see the changing of the guards at noon. I can't believe how the guards can remain so still without changing their facial expression for such a long time while all tourists want to take photos.
Afterwards, we had time to visit the city of Windsor and go shopping there. Except from the castle, Windsor is a small town. Although I don't like shopping normally, I bought a nice tourist guide of Windsor Castle and an English historic novel about Katharina of Aragon because one doesn't have such a great choice of English books in Germany.
